Book Title: A History Of Jessamine County, Kentucky

Men in Indian Wars Antedating 1812.

   James Hemphill, an uncle of Andrew Hemphill, served under General Wayne in
the campaign against the Indians, and was in the battle of the Fallen Timbers,
August 20, 1794; Terrence McGrath, who was the father of the late horseman,
Price McGrath, lived in Jessamine county, and was also in that campaign. In this
battle General Wayne relied upon the charge of the Kentucky mounted infantry to
draw the fire of the Indians, and then sent in his foot men; with the bayonet,
before which the Red Men precipitately fled. The blow inflicted secured peace
and forever stopped Indian incursions into Kentucky.

   Price McGrath, the son of Terrence McGrath, was born in Nicholasville, and in
his boyhood learned the tailor's trade. He subsequently moved to Louisville, and
while there he became interested in the horse business, which he so successfully
managed, and afterward founded his splendid breeding establishment for race
horses in Fayette county, near Lexington.
